The question is not complete, the correct question is:
Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary
Answer: Two events (event X and event Y) are said to be independent if the probability of event X occurring does not affect the probability of event Y occurring and vice versa. If the probability of X = P(X) and the probability of Y = P(Y), therefore P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y).
Given that P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. Therefore:
P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y)
Making P(X) the subject of formula by dividing through by P(Y) gives:
63%
To express as a percentage divide 630 g by 1 Kg and multiply by 100%
note that 1 Kg = 1000 g ( units must be the same)
× 100% = 63%
